When I create an original node, the resulting cloned node doesn't have any of the data from the CCK fields that have filled out. The CCK fields for the cloned node are either empty or have data from the "AC_TEMPLATE" node if there was data in the template.

In particular, I am trying to transfer data from an Iframe field.
http://drupal.org/project/iframe

I also attempted to transfer data using other fields with no luck.

Is this module capable of transferring the data from the original node's CCK fields to the cloned node's CCK fields?

No, as-is, this module doesn't transfer anything into the cloned node, it just clones the template node and makes a node reference, though you can then edit the cloned node if you want to make changes. It might be possible to have ANR bring in data from another node to populate cloned node fields, but that's not happening at this time.

Translation for stupid people like me.
Does that mean that If I create a new content type witch CCK fields and made a template instance from this node the autocreate node reference will "do nothing" ?

As for now, the new instance is created but I have no reference in my autocreate reference field.

the two nodes the newly created one and the one created by this module because of the autocreate field widget do not reference each other.

Isn't it possible to just auto create a new node of a certain content type instead a template since if you have a lot of nodes and you create another reference in a content type it gives you a list of templates to choose from and you have no idea what content type they are?

Annakan--ANR should just make a clone of your template node and reference that from the containing node. The autocreated node will not reference the containing node.

battlingnewbie--Unfortunately, no, ANR will only work from a template. I believe there might be another module that does what you're talking about, but this one isn't it.

In general, this module isn't all that sophisticated. It was really designed and created to reference something simple like a poll or a webform.

hope that helps a little,
